Both the activity of philosophizing and the periodic updating of the teaching of philosophy essentially entail ongoing attempts to revamp the training programme in philosophy in the Indian context.  In realizing this noble cause, but without neglecting the traditional paradigms altogether, it is necessary that we incorporate more of indigenous philosophical content (curricula) and methods, especially by way of attempting to integrate the hitherto neglected streams of Indian society, cultures, and religions. Indigenous Philosophizing: Indian Horizons is a concerted effort from a host of prominent philosophers from across the Indian subcontinent. The clarion call is to re-orientate and equip the teachers of philosophy to the new challenges posed by the new found vistas and vital dimensions of life in the contemporary Indian society.
